In addition to fingerless gloves being a great way to keep your hands warm, their real plus is that they still leave some measure of dexterity for your fingers.
Maybe you don’t have to be a miser as such, but the crochet fingerless gloves themselves are very worthwhile, both in form and in function.
Therefore, here are some ideas for crocheting these useful, yet beautiful items. Whether your ideal dress style is a high power business suit or Morticia Addams, you are certain to find a pair for you. The base gloves are a simple crochet project, and barring any undue complications they will be beginner friendly. You can make them, even you are learning how to crochet. Of course, there is no reason you have to keep these to yourself, and they’ll make great presents as well.

6. Dragon Scale Fingerless Gloves
Of course, Dragon Scale Fingerless Mitts are always in season, and are loved not only by the fans of fantasy. While they make use of the unusual crocodile stitch, they aren’t hard. Consequently they have an awesome scale-like three dimensional pattern that interplays super well with the right choice of colors. Moreover, this technique may come in handy in other projects, so it’s good to learn and practice it.
